We love Awards shows here. And we are incredibly accurate (edit: not true). Both of those apply to the 2017 Emmy Awards, presented on Sunday September 17th for the “best” TV out there, premiering from June 2016 to May 2017-ish (so no Game of Thrones). So we feel obligated to post here for posterity’s sake our predictions for who/what is going to win (and who/what we think should win). As always, we have TJ and David posting their truth. Other members of TMBU did not return our snapchats.
